“Hungary and Slovakia on Monday opposed a planned European Union ban on Russian gas imports, though Brussels is expected to propose the law on Tuesday, which could pass without their approval.”

"Modern high-volume hydraulic fracturing is a technique used to enable the extraction of natural gas or oil from shale and other forms of “tight” rock (in other words, impermeable rock formations that lock in oil and gas and make fossil fuel production difficult). Large quantities of water, chemicals, and sand are blasted into these formations at pressures high enough to crack the rock": oklahomaminerals.com/fracking-

Fracking involves blasting fluid deep below the earth’s surface to crack sedimentary rock formations to unlock natural gas and crude oil reserves.

The process begins with the drilling of a long vertical or angled well that can extend a mile or more into the earth. As the well nears the rock formation where the natural gas or oil lies, drilling then gradually turns horizontal and extends as far as thousands of feet. Steel pipes called casings are inserted into the well, and the space between the rock and the casing is fully or partially filled with cement. Small holes are made in the casing with a perforating gun, or the well is constructed with pre-perforated pipe. Fracking fluid is then pumped in at a pressure high enough to create new fractures or open existing ones in the surrounding rock. This allows the oil or gas to flow to the surface for gathering, processing, and transportation, along with contaminated wastewater that is stored in pits and tanks or disposed of in underground wells.

Care for non-human animals during and after the 2019/2020 “Black Summer” bushfires in Australia

"In fighting these fires, authorities focused almost entirely on protecting human lives and property...The role of rescuing and caring for domesticated and wild animals fell almost entirely to community groups and individual carers, who stepped up to fill the gap at significant cost to themselves – financially, emotionally and sometimes even at a risk to their safety.The standard view in Australia is that only humans matter in the face of bushfires. While some guidance on disaster preparation talks about how to protect pets such as cats and dogs, wildlife carers, farmers and horse owners often found themselves facing incoming fires with little or no information or support."

#ClimateDiary Really want to amplify this as much as possible. @RichardJMurphy excellent on how the fact that most of our pensions are invested in #FossiFuels, processed food etc is not only bad for our planet and health, it also means that they are likely not going to be worth anything, because future generations will not want these things. Governments need to regulate to encourage sustainable pension Investments.

Pensions so core to everything

@6G @stevesilberman T successfully did this in 2018 under the radar. This time he will destroy many agencies and discontinue critical services by separating expert civil servants from jobs whose work product we often ignore and/or take for granted. #education #environment #economy #civilliberties #justice #democracy #transportation #healthcare #snap #childcare #defense #criminaljustice #fda #agriculture #energy #pollution #climatecrisis #fossifuels #socialsecurity #medicare #commerce

"The record set in 2023 was not surprising: “Every year for the rest of your life will be one of the hottest [on] record. This in turn means that 2023 will end up being one of the coldest years of this century. Enjoy it while it lasts.”
